I'm also wondering this. I was trying to get verified to upload content while downloading my first torrent, but no one got back to me until the torrent had finished downloading. So they saw like a .30 ratio and called me a piece of shit, then wouldn't respond to any of my PM's or anything. Made a second account just to try and talk to a mod about it and got automatically IP banned. Apparently my almost 2 terabytes of material shared on Dimeadozen means nothing to them.
Shithole of a tracker if you ask me. But they're got some nice Stones stuff so I'd like to get a working account without any drama.

Don't think I got insulted but pretty much the same for the rest...I can't remember how it works on Dime but HC has no provision to help newcomers establish a standing, i.e. you download a torrent, leave it running so that your ratio will go up, you get banned because obviously it's low...it makes no sense. There should be a 1Gb free quota or a one-week delay to establish a standing or whatever. I'm a taper and uploader on Dime and PR but got banned from HC, go figure!
Yeah they have interesting stuff but a lot of it is on [rutracker.org] and these guys just don't care about ratios at all. You do need to sign up in Russian though, but I managed so it can't be that hard.

No, I can't use ANY account now, because as soon as I registered the second account for the sake of trying to communicate both accounts got automatically IP banned. If they'd have answered my inquiries in a timely manner regarding gaining upload status, I wouldn't have had any problems. But then when they finally did respond and saw my poor ratio, they stopped responding to anything I'd say after that.Quote

I agree that it can be difficult getting an OK ratio in the beginning with only 1GB under ones belt. But it's easy to do it IF one remembers to only jump on new torrents in the beginning. It surprises me that some new members jump on big DVD torrents or old torrents in beginning.
I was very careful during my first months on DIME, for instance, back in 2006. A little later I could download whatever I wanted.
If one has a low ratio, one is not "banned" , but "blocked from downloading". There's a big difference. You can still seed what you allready have downloaded, untill one's ratio is OK, or donate
If anybody has been blocked but never downloaded anything on the new account, I may help, just let me know. I see "Powerage" has not downloaded anything on the new account (or: been cheating) , so he's now able to use his old account, and access the shithole tracker
I did check how recent the activity of the mods I contacted were, and both were using the site regularly. But they didn't get back to me for a couple days still, and by that point I'd downloaded one torrent and had a shit ratio. Like I said, I made a new account because I couldn't get any mods to respond to me after the 2 blacklisted me. The thing thats crazy is, I didn't even try to download anything on the second account before I got IP banned!Quote

You should try see what shit it is to watch all the vultures signing up with double accounts, fake IPs and everything, all the time, that's why the rules are easy: no 2nd accounts
First of all, it's always a good idea to see when was the "last time" the mod you contacted logged into the tracker. You must have contacted one of the 3 that has been gone the last months...which is somewhat useless
Nobody would have called you a piece of shit, btw. Another thing....why do you think making a new account would help? Didn't it strike you that you should have contacted somebody else?
It also beats me why you think your DIME account means anything
It's certainly hard to share when they're not willing to verify you for an uploader account.Quote

Can't agree or excuse any insult anyone received in HC, even if I find it hard to believe, as is out of character of the people I know there.

Also, when you apply for uploader status, they ask you to provide a link to your account on another major tracker and a sample info file...that's why my account on Dime should say something for me as a member.It's certainly hard to share when they're not willing to verify you for an uploader account.Quote

You're absolutely wrong if you think staff doesn't reply to people with bad ratio.
As I said, you probably been writing to some of the staff who have been missing in action lately. Shareef for instance, inactive these last months. You never wrote to me, anyway
>>both accounts got automatically IP banned>>
If you believe staff members have the time to send a PM to new members with double accounts, asking politely why they made a double one; you don't know how trackers work; there's a LOT of new members every day, some of which are cheaters. The few times I've tried sending PMs to people with double accounts (instead of banning), they haven't even replied. Of course people are banned once they made a double one.
As I said; you can now access Hungercity. I removed the IP ban and deleted your 2nd account.

The tracker automatically shows a pile of steaming feces as an icon when a member has a poor share ratio. This may be why you feel you were 'called a piece of shit'. I most certainly did not use such language when messaging you.Quote

Had I recieved a private message, you most certainly would have gotten a response, usually in less than 1-2 days.Quote

HungerCity's rules page warns members thusly: "No multiple accounts! Anyone creating additional accounts will be banned ".Quote

Au contraire! It means that, if you followed HC's rules, you'd have been granted uploader status immediately.Quote

Please, relay more details about this. Such name-calling is NOT acceptable on HungerCity, which prides itself on being 'the friendly tracker'.Quote

All new members on HC are given 1 GB of upload credit once registered. Also, warnings for low share ratio are not issued until a member has downloaded 7 or more GB. For those who are careful and monitor their statistics, this is a generous offering, in my humble opinion. In fact, the download GB 'trigger' was recently increased to 7, just to make it easier to stay out of SR violation.Quote

No IPs are 'automatically' banned. Such actions are done manually, on a case-by-case basis.Quote
